I open my eyes to see that Colby had backed away from me. He clears his throat.

"I'm hungry, let's go out for dinner." The moment is clearly over between us. I straighten my skirt and nod.

"It's a formal dinner- the place is very fancy, I bought you a dress for this occasion." He said.

"I hope you'll like it." He said smiling.

"You did what?" I blink several times.

"The dress is in the closet, I'll go outside so you can change." He left and I can't help but smile.

I look at the dress he left me, and my jaw drops. I put it on. Colby enters the room, and when he sees me, he steps to a halt. He studies me with a dark look in his eyes.

"You look..breathtaking." He said scanning me.

"Thank you." I said blushing a bit.

"I can't wait to show you off at my arm tonight." He offers me his hand and smiles.

"Are you ready for dinner at the VIP lounge with me?" He asked.

"Actually, I'm not that hungry, I'm really tired from the flight so I think I'll just go to bed." I said.

"Oh, okay." He looked.. sad?

"That's fine." He said.

"Thank you for the dress tho, I'm sorry I won't be able to wear it." I said.

"Don't worry about it." He said.

"Well I have to go since I'm starving." He said walking towards door.

"I'll see you later then." He said.

"Okay, have a good night." I said.

The next day

When I go to brush my teeth, I find Colby scratching in the living room.

"Good morning." He said.

"Morning." I smiled at him.

"How'd you sleep?" He asked me.

"Perfectly." I said.

"The hotel isn't kidding around, that bed is heavenly." I said laughing a bit.

"And waking up next to you was even better." I said.

"Happy to hear that." He said.

"What do you want to do today?" He asked me. I put my finger to my chin, pretending to think.

"How about we go to the beach?" I asked.

"You want to hit the waves?" He said.

"Colby..we are at Bahamas, of course I do." Colby laughs as I run to pick my bathing suit.

Just as I put it on, Colby enters, already in his beach attire.

"Are you ready?" He asked.

My jaw drops when we finally arrive at our destination.

"Woah, look at this beach, I've never seen anything like it!" I said.

"The sand is PINK!" I drop to my knees and scoop it up with my hands, watching as it falls through my fingers.

"Are you going to make sand angels next?" He asked.

"Oh, great idea!" Colby laughs as I get down and attempt to make a sand angel, spectacularly falling.

"You're adorable." I look up at him, now standing close to me.

"I will never get tired of this view." I said.
